They do, however, require quite advanced technology for production, e.g. white paper or acid-free inks are not simple to obtain. Paper has been around for some time, e-books (the content as well as the carrier) are still new and evolving.
As for tradition, if it looks like a scroll, can be read like a scroll, ..., tastes like a scroll, maybe it will be accepted.
